Yeah every time I see fuckhead on my Facebook trending list I wince, like I did when I saw this story;
Sioux City TV station KCAU recently aired a story about a bill King has introduced in Congress. In a video interview, the U.S. flag, the Iowa state flag and the “Don’t Tread on Me” Gadsden flag, among others, are shown alongside the Confederate flag on King's desk.
Betty Andrews, president of the Iowa-Nebraska NAACP State Area Conference of Branches, said the flag symbolizes division and slavery. She also called it “anti-Iowan.”
“Iowans fought and died to uphold the Union,” she said. “And given (King’s) recent attempt to block Harriet Tubman from the $20 bill, and of course his track record, I just think Iowa voters need to take another look at who they elected to office.”
Really Steve? You piss all over the graves of Iowans who died fighting the traitors who flew that piece of toilet paper by planting it on your desk.

(722 posts)It looks like this article is slyly hinting at that reason, which should be obvious to any thinking person.

(18,117 posts)Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad said Monday he recognizes that “for historical reasons” some people want to recognize and respect those who fought for the Confederacy. But he said he disagrees with King's choice to display the flag.
“I don’t agree with that, and I guess that’s his decision,” said Branstad, a Republican. “People have a right to display whatever they want to. But I’m proud to say we’re on the side of the Union. And we won the war.”
